It was 3 AM, the darkest time before dawn. This was also the time when farmers around the hill’s vicinity were mostly still in deep sleep.
But a loud noise, as if a muffled thunder struck the flat land, was suddenly heard near Walled Hill Village’s foot, waking up the sleeping villagers.
The sleeping villagers only half-consciously mumbled to themselves as they turned over and continued to sleep.
Some villagers carefully listened, and apart from the roaring voice of the owls, there were no other voices, so they also slowly went back to sleep again.
Suddenly, someone surprisingly appeared on top of the serpent that had fallen to the ground.
This person and the snake had an awe-inspiring fight before in Walled Mountain Village. It was Tang Xiu and the Black Python.
The Black Python had already died at this time, its body curled up and lumped. Tang Xiu was standing in the center of its coiled body, grimacing in pain with a fearful expression lingering on his face.
At the last moment of life and death, Tang Xiu found that the Black Python was going to die, so he didn’t struggle anymore. When he turned his eyes, he didn’t hesitate to use the Black Python’s body to shield himself.
After a few breaths of time, Tang Xiu was like a dumpling being wrapped and solidly packaged, completely covering all parts of his body.
At that moment, the Black Python also aware about Tang Xiu’s intention and subconsciously wanted to use its hard-rock, solid body and tremendous strength to convolute Tang Xiu’s body and turn him into mincemeat.
But when the Black Python was about to execute this move, its body had already crashed to the ground.
The Black Python’s life was already hanging on a line, so it instantly died by the huge impact and was unable to hurt Tang Xiu again as its hard-rock, solid body cracked and was lacerated.
Only after having collected himself did Tang Xiu untie himself from the python’s tail’s wrapping as he crawled up from the ground and stood shakily.
Upon seeing the smashed and badly mangled Black Python that was covered with its blood, Tang Xiu couldn’t help but secretly feel very fortunate. Had it not been because his life was hanging on the line and an idea was born in desperation to save himself, he could have turned into mincemeat with the Black Python.
The Black Python’s body was just like a hard-solid-rock after all, while his body was that of mortal’s that could collapse in a single blow.
Although Tang Xiu finally survived due to using the Black Python’s body during the critical moment and had covered all of his body, but under such a huge force of impact, his head still received a few bruises.
After having spent a lot of effort, Tang Xiu gradually collected himself as he took out the trident dagger and cut a little piece of Black Python’s skin.
